Description:

The USDA's standard for 'tree ripe' is very similar to their standard for ' vine ripe' (i.e. the fruit is just starting to ripen when it is harvested). Our definition, driven by our chefs, is very, very different. We are talking fragrant, juice-running-down-your-chin, very sweet, lots of flavor ripe. Because our Tree Ripe Yellow Nectarines are so ripe, they will show occasional bruising. Send the bruised fruit to Pastry and your diners will enjoy the very best Nectarine Sorbet or Nectarine Galettes in town!

Description:

The Kadota is an old Fig with green to golden yellow skin and very sweet amber pulp. Kadotas are fragrant and floral, and our farmer is harvesting them when perfectly ripe.
Figs that are smooth-skinned and firm are probably not tree-ripe and will likely have dry, vegetable pulp. Figs don’t ripen off the tree, so for the best flavor, they must be left on the tree until completely ripe. Look for Figs like these Kadotas, which give slightly to the touch and have tattered, stretch-marked skin and a drop of honeyed liquid oozing from the eye at the bottom of the fruit. An old Fig description says the perfect Fig should have “the eye of a widow and the cloak of a beggar.” The ideal is to bite into a Fig and find that it’s like Fig jam.
Grown in the southern San Joaquin Valley, right up against the foot of Bear Mountain, on a small, family farm, these Kadota Figs are wonderfully ripe and sweet, and will be perfect in any sweet or savory dish.
